"Even if I kneel to death in front of the emperor and the empress, I will still keep my child. Tell my mother to thank her for reminding me. I'm leaving first." After Mrs. Wei Guogong said this, she got up and staggered out.
.
Xue Chengli looked at his sister a little unbearably, and wanted to help her several times, but finally endured it. Finally, he sighed and took back his hand, watching his sister being helped away by an old woman.
Mrs. Wei Guogong left the Xue Mansion and went to the palace again. However, there was no summons, so naturally she could not go in.
Someone sent a message to Empress Luo, and after waiting for an hour, the eunuch of Kunfu Palace brought Empress Luo's decree, asking Mrs. Wei Guo to go back.
"No, please tell your Majesty that she must see me, otherwise I will be unable to kneel here for a long time." Mrs. Wei Guogong bent her knees and knelt at the entrance of the palace.
Huo Yanlin and the young eunuch of Kunfu Palace who were following him were shocked.
"Mother..." Huo Yanlin looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong and shouted in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry about me, I will kneel down until the emperor and the empress change their minds." Mrs. Weiguo said with determination.
The imperial guards did not dare to drive away the Duke of Wei's wife, so the young eunuch had to return to Kunfu Palace in a hurry to report to Queen Luo.
Half an hour later, a group of nuns from Kunfu Palace came out of the palace, led by Nanny Sun.
When they arrived in front of Mrs. Wei Guogong, the two nuns picked up Mrs. Wei Guogong and carried her to the carriage.
"Mrs. Wei Guoguo, the empress has said that it is useless for you to do this. Besides, you, the wife of a public minister, are kneeling at the entrance of the palace. How unbecoming it is. If you anger the emperor, there will be only harm but no good." Grandma Sun helped while
Pushing Mrs. Wei Guo into the carriage, he whispered to her.
After saying that, Grandma Sun turned to Huo Yanlin: "Master Huo, I have asked you to send your mother back home as soon as possible. Your mother can lose her mind, but you must stay awake."
"...Yes." Huo Yanlin lowered his head and responded with a heavy expression.
"You follow Mrs. Wei Guogong back to the palace. If Mrs. Wei Guogong wants to enter the palace, stop her." Grandma Sun turned to the two nuns beside her and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." The two nuns responded respectfully, then got on the carriage and pulled Mrs. Weiguo, who was struggling to get off, back into the carriage.
Huo Yanlin took a deep breath and said goodbye to Grandma Sun with due etiquette. Then he got on his horse and ordered the coachman to set off.
From the carriage came the voice of Mrs. Wei Guogong with a voice full of reluctance and sadness: "I want to see the empress——"
Grandma Sun watched the carriage go away and let out a long sigh...
Cao Yan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, waited for a day until nightfall, but did not receive the news that Emperor Luo would tolerate Huo Yankun's five people. He understood that there was no room for change in the matter this time, and Huo Yankun must be severely punished.
So Cao Yan went to court that night to interrogate Huo Yankun and the five others.
Regarding the facts listed in the imperial memorial, all five Huo Yankuns admitted it and did not dare to deny it.
Therefore, Huo Yankun, who was found guilty of disrespecting the royal family, would first have to face a 120-year ban.
Huo Yankun was tied to a bench in the hall. Two government officials picked up the board and slapped it down when Cao Yan gave the order.
Huo Yankun immediately screamed, and because his mouth was stuffed with cotton, his voice sounded muffled.
After playing thirty times, Huo Yankun no longer had the strength to scream. Every time he was hit, his whole body would twitch in pain, and occasionally he would let out a weak grunt.
